Language programming benchmark

I don't want to start a flame-ware about which language is better, I'm just reporting what I found today during some research. The site language benchmark shows the result of some benchmark using different hardware architecture, operating systems, language, language implementation. I was astonished by some facts:

• C++ (gnu/intel) implementation performs better than the corresponding C implementation both in time and memory usage
  
• Intel C++ implementation out perform C++ GNU implementation, both in time and memory usage
• GNU C implementation out perform Intel C implementation, both in time and memory usage

I don't report cross comparison between C++/C and other languages, you can do it yourself...
